Perhaps jOe's associate was referring to what many consider the unnecessary complexity of the Parker.

I agree that those uninterested and probably ham handed should not disassemble a gun just to 'look inside'. Such people should also probably defer the replacement of a light bulb or the changing of a tire to those with adequate mechanical ability and interest in the task.

Simplicity of design has much to recommend it. My taste runs to simple and elegant designs. The Fox is a perfect example.
